Yea I could, a team with 2 players that have 0 interest in defense and an old Kobe. The DMC love affair has to end until he learns how to play defense. Pretty much the most important part of being a big man.

Could this be one Big set up for Phil and DeMarcus Cousins to unite?? Could you imagine Cousins, Melo and a Mid Level Mamba

^ This is kinda how i feel. Lets let Phil be happy spending his time away from coaching mocking everything and everyone associated with the game besides Jeannie.

Praying for 1. Kobe's Health (a special 20th season, like he deserves), 2. Draft Picks Ballin (they better. Seems half the team hasnt played in league) 3. Miracle Move (We still need 2 more impact guys), 4. Hibbert (change of scenery and attitude sorely needed) 5. Upshaw (If he works out, mitch and jim and ryan deserve major kudos as the risk is minimal). Staples(some renewed energy in that building, been a total morgue last couple years)

I doubt even Kobe wants any part of that rebuild. Cousins has talent but has too far to go for an impatient person like Kobe especially considering where he is at that this point in his career. Can't depend on some 24 yr old nut case to get it together.

Cause Phil at 70 would be part of a rebuild...

Sure if you have a team you are looking to build. Not when you have Nash and Kobe in fold looking to win a ring now. The last they need to do is help a young idiot try to learn to be an adult while battling out against guys in his age range that don't have such issues.

If your putting up 18/10 and you still have tons of room for development, that's someone you should take a risk on.

The chance to go after them if they do. Lakers still have that puncher's chance or just rebuild in 2015 (which I think is a more viable option). Go after guys like Love, Rondo and rebuild with those guys post Kobe/Pau era.

If Cousins resigns, LeBron isn't coming, George already signed, CP3 signed, D12 gave us the finger and Melo is a long shot; what are we making all this cap space for?? Rudy Gay and Granger??

Isn't Marc Gasol available as well? Anyhow, I agree a bit, 2014 FA is overrated.
